rockford

this is probably my favourite winery in the barossa valley, south australia. their basket press is to die for, they're traditionalists and are not a large producer.  for that reason, i break my rule and upload three photos on this post.   
 

rockford wineries use basket presses (see above) to press the grapes that make their wine.  because they don't press that hard, and they handpick their grapes, the tannin flavours from unwanted skins and unwanted crushed pips (where they are unwanted) are not present in their wines, making them mighty mighty fine.  if you have any vintage of basket press and you're willing to open it, i be your best friend lah

finally, they are so old skool they are still using an old imported british bedford ute! awesome!
